Apparently the training or the schooling they get must be very little.

Quest
Same thing happened to me. Quest did $2000 worth of bloodwork and it was rejected because they submitted it to the wrong insurance. I even questioned it when they gave me the receipt when I was there. It said my insurance was Florida blue. I don’t have Florida blue. I have a different Blue Cross. They said that it’s submitted to Florida blue first and then goes to the next insurance. Makes no sense.

That's ironic. We switched from Lab Corp to Quest because Lab Corp had caused the same problem.

I don't know where you worked in billing, but in 35 years as a practicing physician I never even heard of any physician, or even lab double billing as a routine practice. If you KNOW a physician is doing this "all the time" and intentionally, report them to CMS or the private insurer if the patient is under 65. But you better be absolutely sure lest you face a huge lawsuit for libel/slander. |

lab) told me its happening a lot lately there is a system error which is being addressed |

I have used both the big labs. And each asked for a credit card to hold for payment after insurance processing. I have always said no. I will pay you in full after the carrier pays its amount. The receptionists have always politely accepted this and there was no problem having the lab work done. I get a bill and call the 800# and pay my copay/coinsurance/deductible. Maybe its my honest face. YMMV

They probably don’t pay enough & they get what they pay for. Or the people they hire they don’t screen them very good or at all. It’s sad that Quest & Lab Corp can’t get people that really want to do a good job. I guess these places get what they pay for!

Most don’t know that billing is outsourced, out country. Our insurance is with a large medical conglomerate, nationwide. Their billing is no longer in the US. Not one of my procedures, surgeries, treatment have been billed correctly since 2018.
At this point there is hundreds of thousands of unpaid bills. When you call, it’s like going to jack in the box drive through. So it’s not the physicians, or the office staff. It’s most of medical facilities all over the US. |

Some HMO's require you meet a certain amount of copay before it is covered. Just a thought.
